"A lovely little place just off the public market in the historic district. The didn't have Sangria on the menu, but I had a hankering for it and they were able to oblige. Worth stopping in if you're shopping."
Randy Kamradt
"old fashioned dishes and service, dubiously comforting while at the same time annoyingly uncreative (exception: caipirinha's with pink pepper!) but why built an unnecessary air-conditioned, ugly addition, leaving a beautiful old hall deadly warm? dirty restrooms like NYC's worst in Chinatown."

The Historic Charm of Praça XV
While the historic hall is a significant part of its appeal, some guests have noted that it can become quite warm, especially during peak times.

Despite this, the overall ambiance is frequently described as cozy and inviting, making it a popular spot for both casual meetups and a relaxing break during a day of exploring the city.
Culinary Delights and Drinks
Beyond the food, the drinks are a highlight, particularly their caipirinhas.
